At the end of the Second World War in 1945, the United Nations (UN) was formed to prevent another World War like the one that had just ended. The following decades brought renewed and fresh life to many, and Canada or America were again “lands of opportunity.” Since then, many changes have taken place in technology, the economy, and morality. Extreme ideologies and terrorism are becoming more commonplace. Wars and rumours of wars have Canada and America involved in many conflicts around the world; is the UN failing as a peacekeeper? Have we expected too much from an organization that now cannot even control itself. How long before we lose it all to the “New World Order?”
